Abstract (en)

Provided are an adaptive quantization method and apparatus, a device and medium. The method comprises: respectively performing a first quantization processing on a plurality of original input tensors to obtain an input tensor in a fixed-point number form, and calculating a quantization offset of the input tensor in the fixed-point number form (S102); calculating a comprehensive quantization offset corresponding to the plurality of original input tensors, and an adaptive quantization coefficient (S104); according to the adaptive quantization coefficient and the comprehensive quantization offset, performing a second quantization process on the input tensor in the fixed-point number form and the quantization offset to obtain a quantization result (S106). The method is helpful to improve the quantization accuracy, improve the performance of the convolutional neural network, and reduce the hardware power consumption and design difficulty.
